Neo isn't invincible at all. I don't know where people are getting this idea from. When he was fighting the Frenchman's henchman, one of them cut him...
Also, his powers are still very limited, he still needs to physically fight people to beat them, its not like he can will them out of existance or anything.
But would even that work, if it were not a part of his/the cycle's journey, to die at that point?
I lwonder if superman could reprogram the Matrix so that Neo was no longer the program that completed the cycle, effectively making Neo mortal.. then he could show Neo how to brush his teeth with just his own spine and ringpiece.
He could also just get the Neo program and tape Battlestar galactica or the snooker over it.
He was reborn as the one. That does not imply at all that he is immortal in any sense, if he dies in the Matrix, he dies in the real world, the body cannot live without the mind. Not to mention he never really died. He heard Trinity speaking to him.
His appearance and subsequent systemic overload of elongated words with verbose seemingly unconnected ramblings seemingly specifically designed to transmogrify the minds of the enslaved audience with persistant monotonous and simultaneously monorhythmic delivery, delivering breakless dialogue all designed to achieve effect by only achiving the utter entranced comatose state of boredom whch while not incongrous to the character of the architect, belies a failure to entertain and good dialogue should never read like a legal contract or indeed like the formerly evident but until now unmentioned to the point that I mentioned it paragraph here.
Thats how the motherf**ker talks and after what seems like 7 hours (5 mins realtime) it kills the picture.
From that scene on my previous massive interest in the Matrix died as I first then suspected that the W brothers had lost it, with their heads clearly up both their own bottoms... And that was rife in the writing for the frenchman too.

Dude, I have asked that question many times, and I have still not received a straight answer.

I'd have to watch The Matrix again, but what was that bit where Smith shot him, he fell back (looking dead) and Smith left him [gloating]thinking he had defeated Neo?
